Mackie ShowBox PA System
Say goodbye to breaking your back loading in for a solo gig. The Mackie ShowBox is a battery-powered, all-in-one performance rig that delivers massive sound without the heavy lifting. More than just a speaker, it's a complete ecosystem for the modern musician who needs to set up and start playing in seconds. From busking on the street to playing a packed coffee shop, this system ensures you sound like a pro without the usual tangle of cables and stacks of gear.
You're in Control
Most PA systems force you to do a frantic sprint between your mic stand and the speaker every time you need to tweak your levels. The ShowBox is smarter. Its breakaway controller pops right out of the unit and mounts directly to your mic stand using the included clip, giving you total command over your sound right where you perform.
- Breakaway Mix Control: Adjust gain, EQ, and effects without missing a beat or leaving your spot on stage.
- 6-Channel Mixer: With inputs for microphones, guitars, keyboards, and more, you have enough channels for a whole band or a complex solo loop setup.
- Onboard Effects: Sweeten your sound with independent FX engines for each channel, including fuzz, overdrive, delay, and reverb, plus a built-in tuner and looper.
Packs a Punch
Don’t be fooled by its compact size — this powerhouse delivers. With 400 watts of power and a long-lasting battery, the ShowBox replaces both your acoustic guitar amp and PA speakers, combining them into one streamlined, high-performance package.
- 400W Battery-Powered Amp: Delivers plenty of headroom to cut through noisy crowds or fill a venue with rich, dynamic sound.
- Up to 12 Hours of Battery Life: Play anywhere, from remote wedding ceremonies to street corners, without ever hunting for a power outlet.
- Voicing Modes: Instantly switch between "PA" and "Amp" modes or "Indoor" and "Outdoor" settings to optimize the speaker's response for your specific location.
The Connected Performer
The gig doesn't end when the applause dies down; you need to capture content to grow your fanbase. The ShowBox doubles as a high-end recording interface, letting you stream your performance or record it for later. It bridges the gap between live performance and digital creation seamlessly, meaning your live stream will finally sound as good as your live show.
- USB-C Audio Interface: Connect directly to your smartphone or laptop to livestream your set with crystal-clear, studio-quality audio.
- MicroSD Recording: Hit record right on the unit to save your entire show directly to a card — no computer required.
- Bluetooth Streaming: Jam along to backing tracks or play break music wirelessly from your phone without fussing with aux cables.
Easy Gigging, Solved.

It offers professional sound, incredible flexibility, and a level of convenience that makes playing live fun again.
